VEHICLE HAS CONSISTENTLY PULLED TO THE RIGHT SINCE PURCHASE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN ALIGNED THREE TIMES WITHIN FIRST 30,000 MILES. DEALERSHIP CONTENDS NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM HAS RUINED THE TIRES OF THE VEHICLE, AS WELL. I HAVE CONTACTED MANUFACTURER RE: FLORIDA LEMON LAW, AS WELL AS FL STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL (I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM STATE AG OFFICE IN 6 WEEKS). *AK

POWER DOOR LOCKS WOULD LOCK & UNLOCK AFTER GETTING WET. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS, BUT PROBLEM WITH THE LOCKS HAS REAPPEARED. ALSO, REAR HATCH WOULD OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS. *AK THE KEYLESS ENTRY ALSO FAILED. THE HOOD RELEASE HANDLE MALFUNCTIONS. *YH

INITIALLY EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPERATION DURING ANNUAL CHECK IN OCT 99. REPLACED TIRE AND PUT TRAILER IN STORAGE. IN JULY WHEN TAKING THE TRAILER OUT OF STORAGE, THE "NEW" TIRE TREAD JUST PEELED OFF. I TOWED THE UNIT TO THE TRAILER DEALER, RV TRADERS, FOR CORRECTION. THE DEALER UPON FURTHER INSPECTION NOTED THAT THE REMAING OEM TIRES (3), WITH APPROX 10,000 MILES, WERE ALSO STARTING TO SEPERATE. I WAS ABOUT TO GO ON VACATION, SO HAD TO INSTALL (4) NEW TIRES (GOODYEAR). RV TRADERS IN CONTACT WITH THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AGREED TO RE-IMBURSE ME AT $50.00 PER TIRE AFTER I SENT A LETTER TO THE MANU DESCRIBIONG THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS I DID ON JULY 21, 2000. I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THE MANUFACTURER IN CHELSEA, MA.( DOT NUMBER: CFKCMT2389 TIRE SIZE: ST205/75R1 )

SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE AIR IS IN THE BRAKE LINE. WHEN PUTTING ON BRAKES CONSUMER CAN FEEL THE PAD. BUT IT WON'T STOP. ALSO, WHEN GOING OVER A SERIES OF BUMPS, VEHICLE WON'T STOP.*AK

TRANSFER CASE MAKES GRINDING NOISE WHILE IN 2WD, & SOUNDS LIKE ITS FALLING APART IN 4WD

VEHICLE CONSTANTLY PULLS TO THE LEFT, CONSUMER FEELS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE SOMETIMES THERE IS TRAFFIC PRESENT. *AK

INTERMITTENTLY VEHICLE JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TMES SINCE MAY OF 99, RESULTING IN A REAR END CRASH ON 3/23/00. DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND WHAT WAS CAUSING VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE AND APPLYING BRAKES, THERE IS A DELAYED TIME IN PANIC SITUATIONS. THE FIRST ATTEMPT BY DEALER IN FIXING PROBLEM, RESULTED IN REPLACEMENT OF MASTER CYLINDER BOOSTER. TWO DAYS AFTER THAT BRAKES DEGRADED TO APOINT WHERE THERE WERE NO BRAKES AT ALL, AND GUSHY FEELING WHEN PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL. IN CASE OF NEED FOR IMMEDIATE STOPPING , BRAKES ARE DANGEROUS . *AK
